Congrats on your successful debut! #HnD_SOULMATE_Debut#HnD_소울메이트_데뷔#HnD_영원한_소울메이트@x1official101 pic.twitter.com/SG6AqW5psS
The two were involved in the album's creation, in particular, Nam Do-hyon took part in writing and composing the lyrics for the mini-album and the band prepared the online showing on the same day as the release.
After the disbandment of X1, caused by a scandal over vote manipulations during the Produce X101 survival show during which the band was formed, members of the group went on to focus on their own activities. HnD was supposed to debut on 26 March, but in light of the ongoing global pandemic, the release and promotion were moved to 21 April.
Fans are amazed by the power of the voices and charismatic performances of their favorites, for whom they have been waiting:
Everyone let’s appreciate this moments, when a main dancer nailed THAT high note. A perfect all rounder you are, Lee Hangyul#HnD_SOULMATE_Debut#HnD_소울메이트_데뷔#HnD_영원한_소울메이트@POCKETDOLZ pic.twitter.com/cz6nYS1wN1
